A propos de cet article

285pp. At foot of title page: "Horizon Press [HP logo] New York 1954", over which is affixed a 4" x 1/2" white label, bearing this: "LONDON: DENNIS DOBSON 1956"; copyright page cites Eric Bentley as holding the copyright, 1954; the Library of Congress Catalog Number; and the following: "Manufactured in the United States of America/ by H. Wolff, New York/ Designed by Natasha Sylvester"; NAP. Would appear to be a Horizon Press genuine First Edition, with later dustwrapper (with 'Dobson' in red at foot of dw spine) and Dobson sticker affixed over the original Horizon provenance. A bookseller's sticker adorns the bottom inside front cover: "KINGSTONS LTD / RHODESIA", so it is possible that this copy came from Rhodesia, but was not to be sold there except through the auspices of a British publisher, which Dennis Dobson provided. "Afterthoughts" [de facto Notes on a few pages of text], pp. 273-278; "List of Works Criticized", pp. 280-284; "Acknowledgments", p. 285. Black cloth with brilliant gilt-stamped lettering on spine (dustwrapper did its job); front cover corners and rear cover top left corner are sharp with merest hint of curls; rear cover lower left corner bumped with slight residual creases, though still essentially square; top edge slightly age-toned with a very few foxing specks; fore-edge has a very few foxing specks, but only along the thin line of fore-edge from pp.249-285; superficial, small simultaneous nick to two pages at the fore-edge: p.189/190 and p. 191/192; some pencil indents on ffep, evidently bookseller's notation concerning price, with faint red indent that looks like '12/6', with matching superficial, faint red line across lower edge: Describes much worse than it is, but peccadilloes create book's charm. Light gray dustwrapper price-clipped (lower right front panel), with title lettering in crimson over top half front cover, subtitle in green in a column at lower center, author name in larger green letters across bottom front cover. DW spine sunned to brown, but the red and green lettering are still sharp and distinct; a small rectangular turquoise sticker appears to be placed over the HP logo; 'DOBSON' appears in crimson across lower spine; spine ends chipped; small chips or wear at cover corners and along lower rear cover edge for about 2" [now backed by archival tape]: NO corresponding harm to artifact at those locations: dw did its job: Now in Brodart mylar which forgives these sins graciously. Strong binding (NO cracks); NO rubbing wear to book proper; NO previous owner names. Clean text. Solid copy. The way you want to read a drama classic by a distinguished critic.…
